You Can’t Spell Bi-Partisan without “B.S.”
“Watching MSNBC to prepare for 12:15 hit this pm. Spin is that [Michael] Steele is not interested in unity [because] he opposes Daschle/Geithner/spending.” – @AmandaCarpenter
I had said a few days ago how “bi-partisan” is just a word the media uses to guilt Republicans into bending over and doing whatever the Democrat Party wants them to do. You know, because President Obama is the most popular guy EVAH, we should just do whatever he says even if we think it’s bad for America. If Republican’s dissent, they’re like racist or something.
Point of fact, this report from Amanda Carpenter on her most recent appearance on MSNBC…
All of the anchors are “‘wondering” if Steele is an “obstructionist” because he thinks the stimulus bill is bad policy and if the Senate will listen to him. So, it seems to me, there are dual storylines MSNBC is pushing: 1) That Steele is an “obstructionist” because he doesn’t roll over for Obama and 2) he will have his first “loss” if all the Senate Republicans don’t vote against the bill like the House GOP did.”
Chairman Steele spoke on this on Fox News Sunday, when Chris Wallace asked him if he was being an obstructionist…
Why? If I – if I think you’ve proposed something that is not in my best interests, why am I an obstructionist if I don’t agree with it? Why should I agree with something just because you proposed it? Why should I agree with it just because you have a 70 percent approval? You can still be wrong with a 70 percent approval rating.
To me, it’s all very simple. You have a bill. You debate it and argue over what ideas will make it the best it can possibly be for the American people. There’s a final bill. You read it. You consider its merits. You decide if it’s in the best interests of the American people, and you vote yes or no accordingly.
If the Democrat party honestly thinks this “stimulus” bill is what the American people need, then man up without looking for “Republican cover” and vote for it.
Regardless of what Democrat Activists like David Schuster and the editorial board from the New York Times have to say, Republicans have been clear as to why they think this bill stinks on ice, and the alternative they feel would be more beneficial to the taxpayer. President Pelosi stuck her fingers in her ears and said “I’m not listening.”
The Republicans said their piece. The Democrats said their piece. Vote, and then let the taxpayers do the same in November.
The media can take their faux bi-partisanship and shove it up their Olbermann.
